HVAC servicing and cooling tips
Preventive heating and AC maintenance schedule and quick checks before you raise a ticket.
MAK Homes services the heating and air conditioning (HVAC) in every home at least twice a year: once before summer and once before winter (four times on Plus and Premium AMC properties).
What a preventive service includes
- Replacing the air filter
- Checking coils and the condensate drain line
- Checking the thermostat and fan speed
- A refrigerant top-up if needed
Quick checks before raising a ticket
- Set the thermostat to cool (or heat) and at least 3°F past the room temperature.
- Check that the filter isn't clogged. We replace filters at every service, and you can ask for a spare at the management office.
- Make sure the thermostat has power. Replace its batteries if the screen is blank.
- Reset the HVAC breaker in your electrical panel.
If it still isn't working, report it. AC not cooling or no heat is an urgent issue, with a response within 24 hours. During heat waves and cold snaps, we try to attend the same day.
